AbstractThis study examined laboratory setups for standalone sand screen wear analysis in oil and gas production. It adopted a critical literature review method, highlighting common challenges and limitations hindering representative downhole design scenarios. The paper reviewed setups used to understand erosion mechanisms. It found theoretical and experimental comparisons errors of about 20% overestimation in sandblasting and noise sensitivity, deviation of about 50% mass loss in a jet test, precision of ±0.2 mm in an acoustic test and challenges in Metal Mesh Screen erosion test and slurry erosion test. Results revealed the complexity of replicating downhole conditions and pointed out the discrepancies in experimental setups, most of which were the poor capturing of sand packing at the annulus leading to a significant drop of erosion, assumed uniform inflow velocity, poor consideration of standoff distance, stability of screen, angular impact from nozzles, restrictions in flow loops, lack of pressure and temperature gauges. The study leveraged these findings to develop improved experimental designs containing fixed stand-off distance, adjustable nozzle, radial impact pattern, and enhanced flow loops equipped with acoustic, temperature and pressure gauges. Recommendations were made for screen surface erosion experimental design considerations in oil and gas-carrying fluids creating directions for future studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
